Scots author lets slip rude Glaswegian remark live on Loose Women as panel forced to apologise
Loose Women's Kaye Adams was forced to interject after Scottish author Sophie Gravia made the explicit comment while talking about her dating experiences.
During Thursday's installment of Loose Women, host Kaye Adams was caught off guard when Scots author Sophie Gravia made a very rude Glaswegian comment live on air which raised a few eyebrows. Christine McGuinness and her pal Sophie joined the ITV panel to discuss their new BBC Sounds podcast, Situationships with Sophie and Christine, where they issue advice on all types of romantic issues, share juicy dating stories from listeners and have their say on situationship dilemmas each week.
Listeners are taken on an emotional whirlwind journey ranging from hilarious to downright bizarre dating tales. Sophie and Christine also promise no-holds-barred counsel and offer a peek into their own personal anecdotes, balancing the chaos of romance, raising kids, and managing their professional lives.
The Loose Women episode, starring panellists Nadia Sawalha, Jane Moore, and Oti Mabuse saw the duo recount a few of their own personal dating stories. Sophie, who has won awards for her brilliant light hearted romance novels, shared a hilarious cringe worthy moment from her dating days as a single parent.
However, an unexpectedly graphic detail from Sophie while retelling the story forced Kaye to quickly interject with an apology amidst the roars of laughter, the Express reports.
Sophie recounted how she had walked in on her date completely "b****ck" naked, leaving both the panellists and the audience in fits of laughter.
The Scots author's story left the Loose Women stars in coughing fits and with Nadia making faces.
Sophie recalled: "I went to the bathroom at his house, walked out of the bathroom, opened the living room door, he was b****ck naked."
Kaye swiftly interjected to say: "I just want to say that expression about being naked is a very well-known Glasgow phrase but sometimes people don't like it so I do apologise if you didn't like it."
Meanwhile, Paddy McGuinness' ex Christine, shared details following her revelation of dating both men and women.
Addressing her current relationship status, Christine explained she did not want to put a label on her sexuality.
She explained her perspective to the panel: "I feel people's energy, that's important to me, I have to spend a lot of time with someone before I figure out if I want to carry on or not (seeing them)."
Christine, 37, and Paddy, 51, went their separate ways in 2022 after 11 years of marriage.

The pair have three children, twins Leo and Penelope, 13, and youngest daughter Felicity, 10, who have all been diagnosed with autism.
Christine still lives with the comedian for the sake of their children and Paddy is said to be back in the dating pool.
However, the model has issued one strict house rule that he must abide by and that is to never bring women home.

Polite but persistent: Brian Taylor on the art of political interviews
'Think of the people watching, the people voting,' Mr Taylor tells me as I chat to him ahead of The Herald heading to The Fringe this year. With a career in the media spanning over 40 years - much of that time spent as political editor for the BBC - it's more than fair to say that The Herald columnist knows a thing or two about conducting a good interview. And he will be doing just that when The Herald's Unspun Live at the Fringe heads to Summerhall's Dissection Room in over a month's time. First Minister John Swinney will be in the hot seat as Brian Taylor interviews him on August 5. This is certainly not Mr Taylor's first rodeo when it comes to interviewing Mr Swinney. Brian Taylor on the art of a good political interview (Image: Colin Mearns) He has followed the First Minister's career in the SNP from the get-go. From when he was national secretary of the party to his first spell as SNP leader, then to backbench MSP to taking on ministerial roles, and being once again thrusted into the top job of the party and becoming the 'unexpected First Minister', as Mr Taylor puts it. READ MORE: Mr Swinney has often been branded as the 'safe pair of hands' politician. The man who has steadied the ship as the party faced choppy waters under his predecessors. 'Has that always been the case?', I ask the seasoned broadcaster. 'He is a remarkable figure within the SNP because he brings stability, he certainly has endeavoured to do so in the past year, but he is a passionate, fervent nationalist as well. 'He is a passionate, fervent advocate for independence which some perhaps miss when they see that he pursues a tactical and strategic role.' 'He is the unexpected First Minister. If anything we thought his ministerial career was over. 'And then a crisis within the SNP and therefore within the Scottish Government arose and the cry was, 'Send for John'. 'He thought about it and, boy, did he have to think about it.' Mr Swinney has opened up about the personal conflict he felt when considering taking the country's top job. Being there for his wife who has multiple sclerosis and his teenage son, weighing at the forefront of his mind. Brian Taylor and Hannah Brown (Image: Colin Mearns) During his interview with the First Minister in August, Mr Taylor wants to get past 'the sound and fury' in Scottish politics. He wants to find out their 'real' offering to voters ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections in May 2026. Mr Taylor said: 'I've never experienced in more than forty years as a journalist a period of tension and disquiet in the body politic and in people as there is now. "I called it repeatedly in my Herald column the age of anxiety, and I'm quite certain that is the case." Some questions Mr Taylor is keen to pose to Mr Swinney include: What does he think about challenges confronting him ahead of the Holyrood elections, what does he think about his rivals for the post of First Minister and what does he think about his predecessors? With so much to cover and only 45 minutes of the First Minister's time, how does Mr Taylor get the best out of a prominent political figure like Mr Swinney? 'What I'm trying to do with any political interview,' Mr Taylor said, 'It is to think not of my objectives, think not of what the First Minister brings to the table, think of the people watching, the people voting. What would they want to ask if they were in my position? 'You ask the questions on behalf of the public that they want answers to, legitimately want answers to. Not the froth, not the frippery, not the nonsense but the genuine answers that the folk on the doorsteps want answers to but you ask them from a position of analytical knowledge." The broadcasting and political expert said 'analytical knowledge' could cover a range of things such as comparing previous statements made by ministers to current ones as well as insight into issues such as the independence strategy or health statistics. But how you frame questions to interviewees is key. 'You say it persistently but you say it politely," he tells me, 'The people should be watching the interview and saying, 'That's it. That's the question I want answers to.' Unspun Live at the Fringe will also include Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar who will face questions from The Herald's editor Catherine Salmond on August 6. We will also hear from deputy first minister Kate Forbes on August 7 and polling expert Sir John Curtice alongside "special guests" on August 4. At every event, there will also be ample time for Q & A with the audience. 'It's quite an exceptional line-up for what promises to be an exceptional series of events,' Mr Taylor said, 'The Edinburgh festivals generally are a core part of Scotland's existence and The Herald is also a core institution in Scotland so it's a natural match between the two.' For those on the fence about buying tickets, Mr Taylor has a message: "Rush, rush, the tickets! "It's going to be a great series of events." 🎟️ Book now for The Herald's Unspun Live at the Edinburgh Fringe – featuring John Swinney, Anas Sarwar, Kate Forbes and more

Inside Phyllis Logan's life from tragic loss to famous film star husband
Inside Phyllis Logan's life from tragic loss to famous film star husband Ahead of Murder Most Puzzling's latest episode on Channel 5, let's take a look at the life of actress Phyllis Logan, who is best known for playing Mrs Hughes in Downton Abbey. Murder Most Puzzling: Official trailer Phyllis Logan has gracefully transitioned from her role as Mrs Hughes in Downton Abbey to lead a charming new crime series. Channel 5 recently premiered Murder Most Puzzling, featuring the talented Scottish actress Phyllis Logan as Cora, an avid crossword enthusiast. Upon relocating to the quaint town of Bakerbury with her niece, Cora soon finds herself exercising her sleuthing prowess, aiding the local constabulary with their cases. As we delve deeper into Murder Most Puzzling, here's what you should know about the star, Phyllis Logan. Early life Born in 1956 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Logan was the youngest sibling, with a brother named Cameron and a sister called Ann. Her mother Betty and father David, who was both a Rolls-Royce engineer and trade union leader, raised her in a modest background. Article continues below Although she participated in school plays and was part of the film club, it wasn't until a friend's encouragement that Logan considered acting as a viable career path. Married actors Phyllis Logan and Kevin McNally in 2017. (Image: GETTY ) Unexpected Love Island couple favourite to win in surprise twist READ MORE: Speaking to Spokesman, Logan shared: "Because I came from a small town outside Glasgow, nobody from my school had ever gone into the acting profession. "It was just something you didn't do." Tragic loss Her talent shone through at her audition, securing her a spot at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Tragically, Logan's father passed away at 59 when she was only 20, never witnessing her flourish in her acting career. In a conversation with The Guardian, she expressed: "He was in intensive care and on a life-support machine for several months; it was horrible." She also reminisced about her parents during a chat with Spokesman in 2013, stating: "Sadly my father died before I graduated so he didn't see any of the success at all. "And my mum, bless her, who just died two years ago, she was very happy. I think she was proud of me." Famous husband Logan, famed for her roles in Lovejoy, Secrets and Lies, and Another Time, Another Place, met her future husband, actor Kevin McNally, on the set of the 1994 mini-series Love And Reason. McNally, recently seen in Miss Austen and Apartment 7A, is perhaps best recognised for his portrayal of Joshamee Gibbs in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Having tied the knot in 2011 after welcoming their son David in 1996, Logan admitted she initially had reservations about dating a fellow actor. Speaking to The Guardian, she confessed: "I thought they were vain. "And I'd always sworn I'd never allow an actor across the threshold - but then love doesn't follow rules, does it?" Actress Phyllis Logan is famed for portraying Mrs Hughes in Downton Abbey. (Image: ITV ) Downton Abbey ITV's iconic drama Downton Abbey spanned six successful seasons as it shared the tale of the Crawley family and their servants until its conclusion in 2015. The brand extended with two films, the original launched in 2019 followed by A New Era in 2022. Fans can now anticipate the third and ultimate cinematic instalment, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, hitting screens on September 12, 2025. As audiences prepare themselves for what's anticipated to be an emotional finale, Logan revealed to Radio Times that she won't be shedding tears over the conclusion. She said: "No, because it's probably - no, definitely - time to hang up our Downton keys and say goodbye. "I did love playing that character, so it's sad in a way that I won't be getting into that wig again and putting that chatelaine on.." What's next Alongside her role in Murder Most Puzzling, the 69-year-old actress has another intriguing project underway. Her IMDb page indicates that Logan is set to appear in the forthcoming A Taste For Murder, which is currently under production. The description states: "[A Taste For Murder] follows DCI Joe Mottram, a star detective with the Metropolitan police who, after a personal tragedy, retreats to Capri in Italy with his daughter to stay with his Italian in-laws for the summer."

There's exciting times ahead for the Scots singer. SOMEONE WE LOVE The highs and lows of Lewis Capaldi – from Love Island girlfriend to Tourette's and shock comeback Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEWIS CAPALDI released a new single today after it was revealed he has a secret set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. It marks a sensational comeback story for the Scots singer two years after he broke down on the very same stage and had to cut his set short. 6 Lewis Capaldi performs at Glastonbury before walking off due to his health struggles. Credit: Getty The Someone You Loved star, 28, quietly warmed up for the gig by joining Tom Walker, Dermot Kennedy and Nathan Evans for impromptu performances at charity concerts last month. It's been a whirlwind journey for the Bathgate-born singer after he burst onto the scene in 2019. Here's a look at the highs and lows of 'Scotland's Beyonce.' EARLY DAYS 6 Performing in 2017 before finding fame. Credit: Getty - Contributor With supportive parents in fishmonger Mark and nurse Carol, Lewis grew up in Whitburn, West Lothian, with siblings Anthony, Danielle and Warren. The singer started playing guitar aged nine and graduated to gigs three years later - hiding in pub bathrooms until his time to perform because he was too young to be there. He was discovered at 18 when his manager heard a recording he'd made in his bedroom that was uploaded to SoundCloud. Soon after he graduated with an HND in Music from New College Lanarkshire, Motherwell. RISE TO FAME 6 He was catapulted to superstardom. Credit: The Mega Agency Lewis released his first single, Bruises, in March 2017 and it was an immediate success as he became the fastest ever unsigned artist to reach 25 million plays on Spotify. The following year his EP called Breach launched him to superstardom - with the track Someone You Loved spending seven weeks at number one and ending up the year's top selling song. He became the first artist ever to sell out an arena tour before dropping an album. Lewis Capaldi's highly-anticipated comeback -- and who will be Charli XCX's Apple girl? | Showbiz Fix But that all changed in 2019 with the release of Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent. It was the biggest selling album in the UK in five years, spending five weeks at number one. He then played festivals and shows all over the world as he got to grips with his sudden fame. But he took time off in 2021 to focus on recording his second album Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent. It eventually came out in 2023 and topped the album charts again - spawning three number one singles in the process. HEALTH WOES 6 He took a break from music after struggling on stage. Credit: AFP The musician started showing nervous tics and increasing anxiety as he popularity grew. Fans became concerned by his struggles on stage and he revealed in September 2022 that he'd been diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome. The episodes could be so severe that his mum had to sleep in his bed as she was the only person that could talk him out of a panic attack. He even cancelled a trip to the USA because he thought he had a brain tumour - paying for an MRI scan only to find out that there was nothing wrong with him. His family urged him top consider quitting music when his twitches were so bad they thought he was having a seizure. During his performance at Glastonbury two years ago, he was coming out of a three-week mental health hiatus he had taken to 'rest and recover'. But he confessed that he was struggling with his Tourette's and said his voice had 'packed it in', after coughing throughout the show. He had to walk off stage and later took a break for the foreseeable future to get his mental and physical and health in check. Lewis released just three singles between his second album and now due to his struggles. RELATIONSHIPS 6 Lewis used to date Paige Turley. Lewis dated fellow singer and Love Island winner Paige Turley after the pair met in college. They were on and off between 2014 and 2016 before calling it a day. In 2023 he went public with Edinburgh-born actress Ellie MacDowall, at the Brit awards. They split a year later and he was then linked with glamorous influencer Remy O'Brien. But a source later claimed they were just friends. FRIENDS AND FEUDS 6 Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi perform at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend 2023. Credit: Getty Lewis is best mates with former One Direction star Niall Horan, 31. While he gets on so well with Ed Sheeran, 34, that the Shape Of You star sent the Scot a link to a house for sale - which he then bought. He's hung out with Harry Potter fave Emma Watson, 35, at Wimbledon and partied with Stormzy, 31 at the Brits. However, he found himself embroiled in a hilarious feud with Oasis legend Noel Gallagher, 58, in 2019. Gallagher said "Who's this Capaldi fella?" and branded him an idiot on radio - only for Lewis to call the rocker old and past his prime. The Wonderwall artist responded by posting a video of his son weeping to Lewis' hit track Someone You Loved, advising him to "find some joy" in his music. Lewis then wore a T-shirt with Gallagher's face inside a love heart at Glastonbury - and later posted with his rival brother Liam, 52. FUTURE It remains to be seen how Lewis will cope when he returns to the stage at Glastonbury. But if all goes well, fans will be clamouring for a third album and a major tour. He was previously overheard saying he wanted to bring out an album this year. Music megastar Yungblud has also revealed that he's heard some of the Scot's new music - and that it sounds great.
